Music Idaho, in collaboration with Amplifying Impact, launched a state-wide music census, aimed to collect data on the economic and cultural impacts of Idaho’s musical ecosystem, informing policymakers and state leaders in their decision making. The census is designed to help musicians, music businesses, and music workers be counted so that stakeholders can better advocate on their behalf and bring about greater financial, political and social support for the musical economy.

advancing music through economic research
This project investigates the economic, cultural, and community development impacts of Idaho’s music industry, with Treefort Music Fest serving as a focal point to understand how creative ecosystems contribute to statewide vitality.
By utilizing economic modeling, qualitative interviews, and case study analysis, the project will generate a baseline for understanding music’s role in placemaking, workforce development, and entrepreneurship across urban and rural Idaho.
This data infrastructure will assess Idaho’s music sector's current economic contributions and identify barriers and opportunities for sustainable growth, equipping Idaho with a scalable tool to better understand and strategically support emerging and underrepresented industries statewide.
Creating new opportunities in idaho
Through increased support by policy-makers, stakeholders, and our public audience, the Idaho music census has the potential to develop opportunities for performance, education, and music sector infrastructure.
